How important is AP calculus in Junior year?

<p>In fact we were told at engineering tours that they preferred AP Calc as a senior. That way everything was fresh coming into college. They wanted everyone to learn calculus their way. Also taking AP Calc as a junior there are too many unknowns. Is that the highest math class they offer? Does the student have to go to the local CC or college? Does the student take ap statistics or does the school offer a ap calc ab or BC? </p>
